Unreal Engine 4 on Wii U? 'Hahaha no.'

Unreal Engine 4 on Wii U is apparently laughable. At least that's the sense I get form Epic co-founder Mark Rein. I wasn't in the room, so I admit that I don't know the tone in which this was conveyed, but Mark Rein laughed off the question if Unreal Engine 4 will run on the Wii U.

"Hahaha no," he said at the Epic Games presentation at GDC. "I mean, sorry, it’s not really a correct answer. We’re not… we have Unreal Engine 3 for the Wii U. Right?"

"And Unreal Engine 3 is powering all kinds of amazing games, still lots of games are being made with Unreal Engine 3. We announced today about a new Unreal Engine 3 license. Unreal Engine 3 doesn’t disappear because of Unreal Engine 4," he added.

"But our goal for Unreal Engine 4 console-wise is next-gen consoles," Rein concluded. "That’s really what our energies are focused on. If you want to make a Wii U game, we have Unreal Engine 3, and it’s powering some of the best games on the Wii U already.”
